For Heritage Week, the people down at the Gallery of Photography are exhibiting their collection of family photo albums. There will be free photo scanning workshops to help you create high-resolution digital copies of your family photographs. It will show you how to care for old photographs and advise on restoring & repairing precious, damaged photographs, so the memories may make it through the years.
The Photo Album of Ireland archive project records the rich social history held in family archives. Check out the online archive project, which explores the role photography plays in documenting our lives and recording our memories – preserving them for future generations. The exhibition features a selection of photographs from the current phase of research – Reframing the Border – recording diverse experiences of families from the border counties. The exhibition runs until Sunday, 27th August.
